A. Upon the receipt of a complaint from any person, the chief of police or his or her designee may investigate and assess whether the alleged noise levels exceed the noise standards set forth in this chapter. If such officer(s) have reason to believe that any provision(s) of this chapter has been violated, they may cause written notice to be served upon the alleged violator. Such notice shall specify the provision(s) of this chapter alleged to have been violated and the facts alleged to constitute a violation, including dBA readings noted and the time and place of their detection and may include an order that corrective action be taken within a specified time. If corrective action is not taken within specified time as specified in the written notice, the violation may constitute a misdemeanor.

B. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this code, each fifteen-minute period that a violation of this chapter occurs shall constitute a separate violation and be subject to an administrative penalty of one thousand dollars for each offense.
